Forever change

Ah, time enough has passed for me to reflect on the past day and a half. I feel rather relaxed with time, the Universe, and everything. I just finished watching the latest Harry Potter movie on DVD, but don't tell anyone. It was a good film but wasted because of the poor quality. I hate watching pirate films - they ruin the whole feeling of the film. I have to agree with Movie companies on that one.

I had been to my mate Keith's house today, helping install windows XP and other software. It went swimmingly. We had been to the town, wandering, seeing the sights, and having jovial time of things. The first destination was Boskoops, a cafe that does a real good breakfast. I had a dirty fork which I did not like. Breakfast was good however. We had a casual stroll down from my house to the town. We noticed a few greacy food vans on the way down, a sure indication that it was a match day. I do dislike match days. We had a jolly good laugh at my house though. We started talking about the "George Formby food grill". I think that is a good idea for a webpage, with the "It's turned out nice again!" tagline attached to the product. For some reason we started making up strange names for pubs. The "Shuvit Inn" was my favorite. The intercom buzzer went at 10am. I picked up the handset and said hello. A stern voice replied "Police, open up". I felt rather irate at the attitude of the voice. Obviously it was Keith.

I felt slightly sore this morning when I woke. I surprisingly woke around 9am. I say surprisingly because I went to bed at 2am last night - or rather this morning. I couldn't get to sleep. I had quite a lot of energy. Was messing around on the PC. I got in around 10:30pm last night after the web team Christmas meal. It was a strange night. There was a peculiar atmosphere from start to finish. I wasn't my "enthusiastic" self obviously, as I am really still convalescing. I was disappointed that Chris and Tracey couldn't attend as Cole was poorly. I think it would have been a lot better if they had have been there.

Markie Mark was quite funny last night. I loved his crack about management, about the fact that you don't need a manager in the mens toilet to tell people to have a piss. Very good. It was said in front of Nigel as well, I don't think he quite got it. The meal we had was very nice, it was at Hanahana's, a Japanese restaurant. It was quite expensive, but what the hey. One thing I don't like is dividing the drinks bill between everyone. I only had a small Coke and a tiny bottle of sparkling mineral water and paid £7. Some people always drink a lot of wine. I wasn't too bothered as it is probably the last time that it will happen.

There wasn't really a good start to the night as I had inadvertantly scratched one of my scabs off. Owch. It has left quite a crater. Looks worse than it is. Also been feeling a little tired and a smarting in certain areas of my intestines. I had one pint of Guinness and one pint of lager all night. I have been off the painkillers for a few days now. I think they were doing more harm than good really. Things in life are becoming more clearer for me now. It's hard to describe. Don't get me wrong, I'm far far from my potential, however I feel like old baggage I have been carying around with me for a very long time are dropping away, leaving me more aware. There is still a long way to go to get to the place where I began, if you know what I mean.
